having just burnt off 18 individual iso / image CDs, (hours of ball ache.) i now have the majority (9.10 GB) of the 2004 Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue installed and working on Windows Vista Home Premium

The key is to winrar extract all 18 regional files as image files (.ISO file), save to HD, then burn off the ISO files to 18 individual image CDs / DVDs.

then run the setup exe install file to instal EPC to your computer hard drive / Program files.

then open EPC an press 7 CD set up:

Then select the install destination (/C: Vista ) for the necesary 4 / 5 ISO files per region. do this by by pressing "add" to select the data files for each region(s) eg: all 5 Japanese area version files: JAP A1 > JAP A2 > JAP B1 > JAP B2 > JAP B3

Press F10 execute. The program will then ask you for the install CD's containing the regional ISO optical image files.

Make sure you have already burned the CD's and have correctly labelled the discs with marker pen

have all the CD's to hand, Simply insert each CD when the install prompts for the CD's in order. JAP A1 > it will load the data and eject the CD automatically asking for the next CD: JAP A2 > followed by JAP B1 > JAP B2 > JAP B3 etc

cool, I don't know if someone read this or not but I have been waiting for more than a day for the availability to go over 1. 10 minutes after my post it did so thanks to whomever it was for acting with a quickness..

4 the love of all things good and decent, please seed these sites, the one on the link and the mininova alternate; with only leechers on there they slow down to a crawl with the poor availability.

If I ever get these bastards finished, I will leave it seeding for a frickin' week...

I must be computarded...I got stuck at 97% after like two days the first time, and wouldn't you know it, the files that didn't finish were the ones I needed most.
Tried the minova site, started great, crapped out.
Read up on utorrent, did all the recommended tweaks and adjustments and tried the link above again, and it was slower than my old Nissan Micra in the 1/4.

WTF....

Same exact thing happened to me. If no one has seeded with the parts you need then you won't complete it. And if there are a bunch of people all leaching from one seed it slows down to a trickle. Hang in there, it will finish.

Thanks, bud, I am downloading right now again and it's telling me about 11 hours, IF things keep downloading at the same rate. I am uploading at about the same level, so I am at least doing my bits.

edit: 6:23 AM and my downloading is going faster than ever. I understood the concept of bit torrent, but am now really seeing how effective it is when you have some people working together who get the big picture. Should be done in a couple of hours at this rate, and I will try and keep it going when I get off work.
